Penny and Dusty have been busy the past few weeks educating a few young(and some not so)up and comers. Penny working with them under saddle, and Dusty in the shafts.

Some of the youngsters have been ridden out, following around the brake horse (Dusty) with one on the side, giving them and the one on the side exposure to a few more things happening around them. While the driven stuff is happening Penny occupies the kids and dog (Tiddles) in the round yard.

Our soldiers fought with hero strength, but let us not forget –
who helped them through those horrid times of bomb and bayonet?

The Remounts Section sourced the best – Australia’s finest Walers
were led aboard a hundred steam ships – patient equine sailors.
Oblivious to war ahead, they crossed the angry waves.
Not all of them survived the trip, some sleep in ocean graves.

The Brigadier’s prancing mount, the trooper’s sturdy steed,
the half-legs pulling water carts, gave strength, endurance, speed.
The Waler took the trumpeter to call at Palestine.
The heavy horse pulled medic carts behind the firing line.

The gun horse hauled artillery to arm the troopers’ fight,
while sections rode reconnaissance each dark and restless night.
Through dust storms, scorching temperatures and shifting sand and hills
they proved that they had hearts of gold, with courage, nerve and wills.
